Crucible By Arthur Miller Appreciation Thesis
Statement: The purpose is to educate and display
to the reader the hysteria and injustice that can
come from a group of people that thinks it's doing
the "right" thing for society in relation to The
Crucible by Arthur Miller. I. Introduction: The
play is based on the real life witch hunts that
occurred in the late 1600's in Salem,
Massachusetts. It shows the people's fear of what
they felt was the Devil's work and shows how a
small group of powerful people wrongly accused and
killed many people out of this fear and ignorance.
Also important to the play is how Arthur Miller
depicts how one selfish, evil person like Abigail
Williams can bring other ...

Cults Activities - 1,113 words
Cult`s Activities Cult activity has been on the
rise over the past few decades. With it there has
been an increase in the fear surrounding it. From

Johannes Kepler - 880 words
Johannes Kepler Johannes Kepler was born on
December 27, 1571 in Weil der Stadt, Germany.
Kepler's grandfather was supposedly from a noble
background, and once Mayor of Weil. However,
Kepler's father became a mercenary who narrowly
avoided the gallows. Kepler's mother, Katherine,
was raised by an aunt who was eventually burned as
a witch. In later years, Katherine herself was
accused of Devil worship, and barely escaped from
being burned at the stake. Kepler had six brothers
and sisters, three of which, died in infancy. In
his youth, Johannes was described as: ...a sickly
child, with thin limbs and a large, pasty face
surrounded by dark curly hair. He was born with

Kali Hindus - 774 words
Kali Hindus Kali Hindu goddesses personify Nature
its bounty, beauty, wisdom and mystery. In
benevolent forms, they nurture life. But in
malevolent forms, they destroy everything. They
are therefore adored and appeased with offerings
of flowers and bridal finery. Unlike most other
religions, Hinduism does not advocate the worship
of one particular deity. There are numerous gods
and goddesses worshipped by Hindus all over India.
Among these is Kali, the black earth mother whose
rites involve sacrificial killing. She is
associated with dark, obscene rites and devil
worship. She has black skin and hideous tusked
face, smeared with blood. Kali is the Hindu primal
Mother Goddess who brings Life ...

Reformation And Ritual - 1,318 words
... as best performed intellectually rather than
physically16. The rationality behind this is
attributable to the Reformations promotion of the
believed hypocrisy of the Catholic Church. For the
Protestant Reformer, the Pope and his Church were
political, hypocritical and even evil. A poem
written in the fourteenth century by Raimon de
Cornet, criticizing the Avignon Papacy is much
indicative of this attitude. De Cornet begins: I
see the pope his sacred trust betray, For while
the rich his grace can gain alway, His favors from
the poor are aye withholden. He strives to gather
wealth as best he may, Forcing Christ's people
blindly to obey, So that he may repose in garments
golden and conclude ...

Witch Hunt In Modern Europe - 1,687 words
Witch Hunt In Modern Europe The Witch-Hunt in
Modern Europe by Brian Levack proved to be an
interesting as well as insightful look at the
intriguing world of the European practice of
witchcraft and witch-hunts. The book offers a
solid, reasonable interpretation of the
accusation, prosecution, and execution for
witchcraft in Europe between 1450 and 1750. Levack
focuses mainly on the circumstances from which the
witch-hunts emerged, as this report will examine.
The causes of witch-hunting have been sometimes in
publications portrayed differently from reality.
The hunts were not prisoner escapee type hunts but
rather a hunt that involved the identification of
individuals who were believed to be ...
